I am assuming none of us are veggies or vegans,and we are maybe a little more omniverous in our tastes than Mr&Mrs J.Public,but whats the strangest thing you ever ate?
Tesco are starting to sell them at their Deli counter Steve,sure to be a hit with,erm,erm....Yeah,well,maybe there wont be a rush on them initially,they really are an aquired taste
Waste not,want not,eaten much worse visually(and thats where it starts mate),not much taste on them but a damn sight better than cockroach,scorpion,raw sea-cucumber guts,most things are edible enough and fill your belly if your hungry enough,can I tempt you with a nice piece of BBQ chicken entrail?
Theres only once my stomach ever turned mate,couple of guys clubbed a cat,threw it on a skewer till the fur frizzled up,let it cook for a while then peeled the outer blackened shell away and began to tuck-in,to be honest it tasted great,just the smell of singeing hair and popping eye-balls I couldnt take at first
I spent two weeks staying in Longhouse in the Sarawak highlands, and I had curried water-buffalo.
Much of the other stuff I ate, I couldnt't tell you what it was, but there was alot of wild boar, baby fern fronds, plus rice!
It looks like you spend some time in SE Asia, and I will admit to being a bit leery of very strange food - but you have to try it once, and if you dont spend the next 24hrs on the porcelain telephone you have done well!
Godzone (thats New Zealand to the uneducated) now has a large Asian immigrant population.
In Auckland we have a large number of chinese resturants which do a "YUM CHA" menu in the weekends for brunch.
The food is magic, bite size, and it just keeps coming! I have tried chooks feet, plus duck tongues, but the effort to get a taste of meat far outways the hassle of trying to chew it off the bone/gristle.
What gets my neck up is that NZ is a major expoter of lamb, do you think I can get sweetbreads or brains? - they are all exported to France and I pay a premium for them. Go figure!
Been to Sarawak a few times mate,longhouses are cool,especially the ones with the soot-blackened skulls in the ceiling,they could tell a few tales I was next door a few weeks ago,Sabah,did some training there once and got a taste for the place,spent four and a half years based in Hong Kong and travelled extensively in China so I ate my fair share of fat,bone,and gristleI was actually at an asian party last night,I got the Job of head BBQ'er
